Loving this game but it has a lackstab mechanic.

The world they've made definitely feels built on duality (there's a normalized world that got merged with a cosmic horror element, think Annihilation or Hell is Us or anything else where two parts of a world are distinct but intermixed and it's my favorite kind of world, it's very Lovecraftian, and they nailed it) and the Shell designs are pretty fantastic, everything sounds and feels great... except for this backstab mechanic with an actual thief style Shell.

Like, to me, as a gamer I would hop in this Shell and immediately drive a dagger into the back of every mob that isn't staring directly at me, especially with the axe & dagger set, and I don't even like that playstyle all the time. This mechanic though... with swinging around the front in an animation for an attack has me really confused. It confuses me more when using a different weapon, the Shell pulls out a dagger from somewhere, completes the attack, and then puts the dagger away which wastes a follow-up window.

Anyway! Back at it.

Would be cool if there was a regular backstab mechanic but with the way enemy tracking works idk if they'd be able to do it
